Kindergarten

Lissa Iles

I was hired by Des Moines Schools in 1999. I taught first grade at Lovejoy Elementary for four years and have been at Greenwood ever since. I attended the University of Iowa for my undergraduate degree. I have a masters degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Early Childhood and Reading. Kindergarten is the heart of the school and where my heart will always stay!

Hello everyone! My name is Carrie Motter and I am a kindergarten teacher here at Greenwood. I graduated from the University of Iowa and received my Masters in Education from Morningside. I am in my 34th year of teaching which has included experience in teaching all grades from Kindergarten through Fifth. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family. I have four children and six grandchildren so I keep pretty busy!
